Well, i did play around with the SG as you stated and discovered a couple of things.
#1 the tube shield for the 3 tubes was wearing on the 24A oscillation wire bare going from the 24A cap to the hole connecting under the chassis. I kept losing signals and i never put 2 and 2 together - it ground out the IF signal. i will replace that wire after Easter.
But, now i can only tune to the upper level stations 1400 and above and even then only to one or so stations clearly. Anything below - nada. So i assume i didn't wind the OSC wire coil correctly. Was it not enough turns or something else? Your suggestions focused on the right things. Now that I'm close, i know this is not too far off. Thank you again!
PROGRESS!
